So what's he waiting for?

But my point is that you said Solak is the sole share holder.

How does this work if the player passing the ball is behind the intended recipient?

Of course they did - doesn't mean you can use it as proof that formation changes make no difference.

Or if Azaz doesn't miss a tap in and Scienza doesn't put an easy header straight at the 'keeper. Easy to be selective to suit your own agenda. The formation made a difference with less sideways negative passing between 3 centre backs, two wide men hugging the touchline, an extra body in midfield and Stewart leading the line winning headers and holding the ball up. It wasn't perfect but stick with it and we'll get better. You carry on going on about formations making no difference, it's an opinion you're entitled to but one that's clearly not shared by the majority - and I get that you won't be at all bothered by that.

Fellows is very tricky but we need him to start scoring some goals. He has the ability to get within shooting distance but always seems to just thrash at the ball. Needs to show a lot more composure and he'll start banging a few in. Get Le Tiss in to teach him how to strike the ball cleanly and accurately 🙂

Fair point but there have been reports that AA wants a move. I'm happy for us to keep him but we must sign or loan a big striker this window to help spread the load with Stewart. I wouldn't be adverse to having AA play just off Stewart as I think he'd profit from his hold up play and flick ons. Maybe sell Archer instead.

Not 100% sure you are correct as you make no mention of Katharina Liebherr. Unless I'm mistaken she still has a part share of the club or has that changed?

After winning today would take a point to be honest.

Ings looked on the heavy side to me - think he's past it now.

I'd sell him this window if we can identify a big strong centre forward. Stewart showed we are a different side with a decent guy leading the line, holding the ball up and winning headers. We can't rely on him alone though so another of his type to share the load would make us stronger in my book.

Agree he's not strong on crosses. He's a unit so he should be battering people out of the way to get to the ball.

Thigh injury and looks like he could be out for a while. They'll probably send him back 🙂

We were fine until Stewart went off. He was the big difference between the two sides. Once he left the field Sheff Utd could afford to push forward more knowing we had nobody holding the ball up so struggled to get out of our own half. I'd be selling AA this window and bringing in a big centre forward to alternate with Stewart because we were a different side with someone competent playing the centre forward role.

Whereas we scored and had two gilt edged chances.

Didn't see them create chance after chance. Were we watching different games?

We made it much harder than it should have been because Azaz and Scienza missed easy chances that simply must be converted. After Stewart went off we had zero presence up front and allowed them to control the game. There were a few scares and Bamford really should score after the terrible mix up between Jelert and THB - schoolboy stuff. Fortunately Bamford was not as clinical as normal and his shot gave Peretz the chance to stick out a leg and divert it. The 3 points here is the most important thing but we must take our good chances when they come along because that could easily have finished 1-1 even though we were worthy winners.

Wilder is going to act swiftly with subs and he's got some good options. We need to have a good second half.

Stewart has been very good. Won his share of headers and very neat and tidy on the ground. Considering how little football he's had he's done great in that half. It's good to finally have a focal point. Fingers crossed he can stay fit cos he's going to be a key player for us.

Do bears shit in the woods?

Nobody seems to know for sure. All part of the smoke and mirrors if you ask me.

Do they sell it using us as an example of how successful it is? Not sure that'd help grow the business. 'Here, look at this. You should try it. We use it all the time.' 'Nah, you're alright mate.'

Unlikely and would be extremely hard to prove anything.

Is this your opinion or do you have actual evidence to support it and, if so, what? Just seeking clarification.

They'll learn 🙂
